Sulawesi's Kungkungan Bay Resort sits on the edge of the Lembeh Strait with views across to Lembeh Island. As such it is perfectly located in the heart of some of the world's most outstanding muck diving, most within 5 to 15 minutes boat ride.

Kungkungan is a professionally run resort which manages to be intimate and friendly yet also provides a relaxed atmosphere with highly trained staff and very knowledgeable dive guides. The accommodation all faces the sea and consists of Cottage Suites, Traditional Houses, Beachfront Villas, a Hillside Villa and an Owner's Suite. The property centres around a large over-the-water restaurant where you can sit and relax above the lapping waters of the strait whose incredible array of marine life will fascinate you throughout your Sulawesi scuba diving holiday.

Other facilities include a swimming pool and pool bar, salon and spa, including free 'jetlag' massage on arrival, complimentary internet, laundry and air conditioned bar. Single travellers may opt to share accommodation.
